Don't Forget the Farmers.

In the nature of things the agri-
cultural interest of the South must
always remain of first importance,
says the Memphis Avalanche. It
would be unfortunate if the splendid
showing which. this section has been
enabled to make, of the profits of
manufacturing led to any decrease in
the number of acres cultivated, the
abandonment of the field for the fac
tory. With our fine soil and climate
and long seasons, the farmers of the
South, if they will devote the same
amount of energy, the same careful
economy and the same intelligence to
agricultural pursuits as is necessary
to compete successfully in manufac-
turing, their annual profits will com
pare very favorably with the divi-
dends of stockholders in the best
factories. The South wants more
farmers, but at the same time it is
necessary that the cotton and sugar
produced should be manufactured at
home, in order that the producer may
be saved the toll paid in freights to
and fro and to half dozen middle
men. This may be accomplished by
the investment of surplus earnings
in machinery for spinning and weav-
ing, for saving and turning and for
the thousand and one methods of
converting the riches of the fields,
the mines and the forests into those
articles OF prime necessity which the
South is now obliged to purchase, to
considerable extent, from it's North
ern neighbors And if the annual
earnings are not sufficient to build
enough factories to consume the raw
material as rapidly as it is piled up,
the fact has only to pc clearly and
convincingly stated to the cabitalists
of other sections who always have an
eye to the main chance, and who are
not likely to allow an opportunity
to made a fair interest on their
money. Every man to his trade
Let the farmer stick to his. 1t is
upon hlm we must depend at least
for our daily bread. The moral of
all this oughtto be discerned. All the
influence the South can exert upon
national legislation should be mainly
for the class which tllls her fertile
fields.

The treasury department seems
determined to prevent so far as pos
ssble any disturbance in the money
market. Theshylocks of finance and
the leeches on commerce have peen
relying on the accumulation of the
treasury balances to aid them in
squsesing the legitimate business
men, but the recent treasury circu-
lar has dispelled their hopes and
given to business affairs the needed
confidence.
This action on the part of the gov
ernment is characteristic and CON-
mendable. The treasury is and has
been the menace to business enter
prise. As the available funds are
drawn into the vaults by the vicious
system Of expost taxation the means
of conducting business transactions
among the people are circumscribed.
Understanding these facts the shy
locks have been hearding their re-
sources TO- take advantage of what
seemed necessary stringency.
| The treasury circular came upon
them like clap Of thunder from a
clear sky. It meant the releasing
from the vaults of the fund the con-
finement of which meant stringency
If not actual panic. It was in effect
notice to them that the people and
not the Shylecks were to be eonsid-
cred by the authorities. It is in fact
the assertion of the cardinal Demo-
cratic principle of the greatest
good to the greatest number"

The last donations to the exhibit

following correspondence shows the
spirit of generous encouragement given
by shrewd, wise business men:
Los ANGELES, CAL, July 30, 1887.
General E. Bouton, Secretary Grand
Army of The Repubtc,-DEAR SIR: The

apart lot 13, in block %, in the new

Park is situated five miles south of the
city plaza, right at the junction of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Bal
Iona road and the Southern Pacific
Railroad, and as the aforementioned
lot is very nearly in the center of the
town, it should realize a handsome
price. Wishing you all possible sue

NOt SMALLPOX.

A telegraphic dispatch was sent out
from San Diego on Friday that small
pox had broken out among the Mission
Indians on Warmers rancho. 1t is
needless to say that the announcement
created the greatest alarm in that Sec
ton of the State, as the disease among
the Indians is usually very fatal.
To ascertain the facts about the mat
ter Hon. Shirley G. Ward, of Cotton,
late United States agent for the Mis-
sion Indians, sent physician to that
distant spot to investigate the subject.
The doctor, after hundred miles OF
rude travel in summer heats, returned
and states that he found one Indian
sick with mild type of measles and
had him taken away for proper treat
ment. He found that there was no
such thing among the Indians as
smallpox. All the smallpox in the
State seems to be confined to San
Francisco and Oakland. There is no
smallpox in South California. Much
credit is due to Mr.. Ward for his vol
untary and diligent efforts to learn the
truth and provide for public safety.

w. T. Barnett, the oldest cigar
dealer in Los Angeles, has again gone
into business. The firm name is w.
T. Barnett & Co., and the handsome
wholesale rooms are established at 120
Commercial street. A very large
stock of the finest imported and do
mestic cigars, tobaccos and cigarettes
is laid in and this firm will
keep fully abreast of the
times in the cigar business.
Mr.. Barnett first commenced dealing
in cigars in Los Angeles in 1872 and
has a reputation for square dealing
that is indeed enviable. He is known
as one OF the best judges and buyers
of cigars and tobaccos in the State,
and his customers always get the ben
eft of his experience and rare judg-
ment. Mr.. Theo. Cobler will repre-
sent the firm on the road, and this OF
itself is guarantee that the new firm
willlead the trade. Messrs. Barnett
& Co. open up for business to-day and
will be glad to see their friends at 12O
Commercial street. They will do a
strictly wholesale business.

The New ssExamfner.n

Some days ago the Times published
a report that the San Francisco Er-
aminer intended to establish in this
city a branch of the Examiner. A
telegraph line was to be built fro m
San Francisco, a large building erected
and paper established that would
revolutionize the newspaper business
in Southern California. The Times
said that the HERALD should tremble
at the approach Of the Examiner. If
a report which gained currency yester-
day to the effect that the Hearsts have
a large mortgage on the Times build
ing and material is true it is altogether
probable that the Times will not only
tremble but will proceed to fall with
a crash. From its Republican ashes
will arise the Democratic Examiner
and the Times will be known no more
but it's memory will linger long.

A SUICIDE.
Henry Ortlepp Kills Himself
without Apparent Cause.

Henry Ortlepp AlllS hhHscAA
without Apparent Cause.
Saturday afternoon Henry Ortlepp,
formerly head bookkeeper for Mey-
burg Bros, but latterly Secretary Of
the Metropolitan Loan and Building
Association of Los Angeles, went to
Santa Monica. Arriving there he took
a room at the house of Mrs. German,
corner of Also and Third streets. He
retired about 10 O'Clock. About 8
O'Clock the landlady went to the room
occupied by Mr.. Ortlepp to awaken
him, but her knocks at the door failed
to arouse the inmate. She then opened
the door and sickening sight met her
eyes. There ON the floor in sitting
position was Ortlepp, with a pistol
beside him and with his clothing cov-
cred with blood. Assistance was
called, but it was found that the un-
fortunate man was quite dead and
had been so for some time. The Cor
oner having case at Santa Ana was
unable to hold an inquest and jury
was impanelled by the Justice of the
Peace. The jury brought in a verdict
of death from a pistol-shot fired by de.
ceased with suicidal intent, the cause
of the rash act being unknown.
Mr.. Ortlepp was well known in this
city. He was a man Of about 45 years
of age and had wife and two chill
dren. The family lives at No. &C
Turner street. His wife and children
went to Santa Monica yesterday. De
ceased was always considered ar
honest and straightforward man
square with the world and his self
inflicted fate has filed his friends
with horror. President Stern, Of the
Loan Association, says that it is i'm
possible for Ortlepp to be more than 9
few dollars behind, if, indeed, he
owes anything.
